Coronation Street star Sean Wilson reveals how his onscreen wife Helen Worth supported him after his return to the soap was axed following emergence of historic bogus sex claim
The actor, 59, played Martin Platt on the cobbles from 1985 to 2005 and was set to return to be part of Helen Worth's dramatic exit storyline as his former onscreen wife Gail.
But ITV later confirmed his shock exit from the show, with his storyline replaced with one featuring another former partner of Gail's, Jesse Chadwick (John Thomson), and claiming that Sean departed for 'personal reasons'. The actor said three executives told him they had received an allegation that Sean put his hand up a woman's skirt and that the police had also contacted them and said they had referred the case to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS). Sean cried on the call when police told him no further action would be taken and said h but detailed the fall out from the allegation, saying he struggled to tell his children Callum, 26, and Maisie, 24, and hiring lawyers also came at a great financial cost (pictured on Corrie in 2018)
